Abstract: Sea turtles had been the highlights to several researches these past few years. Sea turtles emerge from the sea to lay eggs once a year. Until now, marine scientists observe turtle laying eggs process manually. The problems revolve around carefully observing sea turtle laying eggs (nesting) without having the sea turtles intimidated hence retarding the process. The purpose of this research is to develop a physical prototype design of sea turtle observatory robot. In order to prevent sea turtle being intimidated from the human existence hence retarding the nesting process, this prototype was able to resolve problems faced previously. This robot is equipped with Bluetooth communication system which allows it to be controlled from a fixed position and moves with constant speed from a given starting point on the plane to a target point. The task is to identify challenges involved in sea-turtle observatory processes on the beach which are done manually before. Therefore, this work is focused on the development of robots in order to operate at the beach for the sea turtle observation. The criteria of prototype should be capable to crawl on sea sand and able to withstand water splash and flying sand dust. The research is executed in a proper designed and organized schedule to optimize the output of the research. vi
